Chapter 12 Gua! Add some points
The night was as dark as ink, and the moonlight as cool as water.
Nan Nan was already fast asleep, emitting soft snores.
Fang Yuan, however, felt no sleepiness whatsoever.
No, it's not because frogs are nocturnal animals.
He squatted on the windowsill and, by the moonlight, brought up the indigo panel.
The situation is becoming increasingly unclear: the eerie pond, the missing blood jade, and the Zhao family, who, according to Master Lu, have become dried corpses…
All of this is forcing him to become stronger.
We must improve our strength as soon as possible!
"Quack! Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, please help me!"
[Taoist Rhyme: 1.12]
There is still inventory.
"Dark Blue, give me some points!"
Fang Yuan silently recited the mantra, focusing his consciousness on the [Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound].
[Taoist Rhyme] → 1.08
[Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound (First Level)] → [Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound (Second Level)]
……
[Taoist Rhyme] → 1.00
[Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound (Fourth Floor)]
The skill point consumption of Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound is obviously higher than that of Tiger Roar Blade Technique, almost 0.04 Dao Rhyme is consumed for each level of skill point added!
And the qualitative change is even more obvious!
boom--!
This time, it's not just the heat.
Fang Yuan felt as if a small, pulsating sun had been inserted into his body, causing his internal organs to vibrate at a high frequency.
If the initial shock when he added points was like a muffled thunder, then now it's as if a fierce tiger or a cheetah is truly hidden inside his small body!
Caw...!
The body is expanding, and the skin is stretched taut and shiny.
It's another molting process.
More importantly, a cool, subtle sensation arose from my lower abdomen and spread throughout my body.
This is……
Internal energy!?
It felt like a snake had appeared inside his body that Fang Yuan could control at will!
Fang Yuan tried to control the gluttonous snake, but found that it seemed to have a fixed path. In some places, such as its limbs, the snake moved much slower.
In other places, such as the abdominal cavity and internal organs, movement is completely impossible.
This internal energy seems to only flow from the lower abdomen to the fascia, and then to certain specific locations on the back.
Fang Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.
He could clearly feel that his breathing was much lighter and his body was more robust.
Although his size didn't increase dramatically like before, he could feel that he was stronger than before!
Is this the power of the fourth level of internal energy?
……
Fang Yuan was somewhat eager to try.
He turned his head to look out the window, his gaze fixed on the pond in the back garden.
It's time to explore that eerie place again.
Testing is necessary.
He was just a frog. If the strange creature really came to the Lu family, the evil spirit would really drain the lifeblood of the entire Lu family... Even if the people in the family had the ability to escape, they would probably take the women first when they fled, and no one would care about the life or death of a frog.
Therefore, this time, with his inner energy protecting him, he had to go and see what kind of monster was at the pond!
Although he was just a frog the size of a palm, and even with his stat boosts, he probably wasn't as strong as a six-year-old human child... Fang Yuan was very clear about his own limitations...
He is ultimately just a frog; he can't be pampered and live as a pet forever!
Nan Nan is just a child at heart; who knows when she might stop liking him! Just like the spider he killed, although Nan Nan seemed to have feelings for it, she didn't seem very sad after the spider died!
It is clear that if any danger arises, Fang Yuan will ultimately have to deal with it himself!
Therefore, it becomes essential to test the evil spirits in that pond!
On the one hand, it was because the evil spirit didn't seem strong—even a frog with no strength could break free from its restraints. On the other hand, it was also because Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound was ultimately an internal skill!
The so-called internal energy... Fang Yuan took a deep breath, the experience gained from adding points swirling in his mind... If used properly, if internal energy could be effective against that evil spirit, then he wouldn't need to be so anxious and uneasy afterward!
But I still need to be careful... I need to get closer to the edge little by little, and...
If all else fails, turn around and run immediately!
The evil spirit in the pond was able to overcome my obstacles last time. This time, with my internal energy boost, there's no reason why I should be worse off than last time, even while running away with all my might!
……
A gentle night breeze was blowing.
With a few leaps, Fang Yuan arrived silently at the edge of the pond.
Instead of jumping in rashly, he squatted on a rock and looked down at the water.
The water was calm, reflecting the moon.
However, because the water was calm enough and Fang Yuan was sitting on the artificial rock without moving, he was rapidly blurring in the frog's vision, which could only see movement.
Fang Yuan took a deep breath and circulated his internal energy. —In various novels, internal energy or true energy applied to the eyes always has miraculous effects!
I wonder if my internal energy also has the function of spiritual vision!?
A buzzing sound came from his internal organs, and a warm current surged into his eyes.
Fang Yuan continued reading!
Will things change?
quack!
!
The once calm water surface suddenly became somewhat blurry in Fang Yuan's eyes, and that suffocating grayish-white tone reappeared.
Although it didn't pull him into a hallucination as directly as last time, he clearly saw something swimming beneath the surface of the water.
It's a fish...
Clumps of fish... colorful koi!
This pond actually has koi carp?! Where did they come from?!
It must be a demon!
That evil spirit is related to koi fish!?
Fang Yuan frowned in confusion and looked down into the water.
The koi fish were incredibly dazzling, yet they also resembled distorted black shadows, like some kind of black hair tangled together.
They move silently underwater without creating any ripples.
quack!
There was definitely a problem!
Weird, I ate poop!
"Croak—!!!"
【Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound】!
Internal Force - Frog Croak!
Internal energy is attached to the sound!
That cry was so clear! The sound wave, imbued with internal energy, struck the water's surface as if it were a tangible object.
Whoosh!
The calm water surface seemed to be hit by a huge rock, suddenly bursting into a circle of ripples.
but……
like water off a duck's back……
?
That had absolutely no effect.
It's like adding a drop of water to boiling oil!
wow-
The colorful koi carp, which had been swimming like black hair, stopped moving in unison.
Immediately afterwards, they all turned their heads around.
Stare!
That suffocating amber sensation returned, even more intensely than before!
The air grew thick, and the gray-white field of vision began to spread wildly outward, as if trying to assimilate him into that black and white photograph.
Internal energy... ineffective!?
quack!
The world is full of strange and wondrous things! I underestimated the world's mysteries!
quack!
Don't kill me!
"Croak! This is the Lu family's secret technique, 'Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound'!"
Could it be that my internal energy is completely ineffective against this strange creature?!
Fang Yuan cursed angrily, but dared not pause for a moment!
The wind is tight, shout!
Frog jump, start!
Fang Yuan dared not linger for a moment. He kicked off with his hind legs, pushing his internal energy to its limit, and the frog shot out like an arrow!
Caw! Run away!
Run for your life!
The gray world behind him relentlessly pursued him like a persistent leech. Fang Yuan dared not turn back and could only run wildly toward Nan Nan's room, relying on his memory.
I managed to run away last time! I'm sure I can do it again this time, quack!
We walked through the flowerbeds and across the corridor.
It'll be soon!
Just ahead is Nan Nan's room! Maybe I can get rid of this feeling once I enter that warm, welcoming place!
however--
Just as Fang Yuan was about to land in front of that familiar threshold, a dark figure silently darted out from the shadows and blocked his way.
"Meow—!!"
A mournful meow rang out.
It's a tabby cat! And it was one of our rivals at the previous pet auction!
Damn it! You stupid cat!
Don't hold yourself back at times like these!
But the tabby cat didn't test the waters at all; it immediately swung its claws at you!
The sharp claws, carrying a foul stench, aimed straight for Fang Yuan's throat!
quack!
Fang Yuan's anger rose from his heart, and evil thoughts arose in his mind.
I can't beat the creatures in the pond, and you, a stray cat, dare to block my way?!
If you hold me back, and that grayish-white monster catches up with me, I'm really done for!
Fight!
Fang Yuan stopped dodging and began to circulate his internal energy wildly, gathering it in his limbs and bones.
Tiger Roar Blade Technique!
Using his hind legs as a pivot, he twisted his body in mid-air in a strange manner, dodging the cat's claws while simultaneously using his webbed hands like knives to slash fiercely at the cat's side of its neck.
boom!
A dull thud rang out. The palm struck the other's head, but it didn't hurt at all.
The cat playfully licked its paw.
hateful!
The difference in size and strength is still too great! An ordinary frog weighs about two pounds, while a raccoon dog weighs at least ten or twenty pounds!
Even if Fang Yuan wasn't an ordinary frog, he still only weighed five or six pounds!
This size difference ultimately rendered Fang Yuan's attacks ineffective!
If it were a human, that slap might have cracked the tabby cat's skull, and it would probably have turned and run away by now.
But Fang Yuan was just a frog, and when he hit the tabby cat, it only shook its body.
Instead, the tabby cat turned around and bit Fang Yuan's thigh!
quack!
I won't let you bite me!
Fang Yuan suddenly jumped up! He dodged the raccoon's attack, but the raccoon was not to be outdone and its claws still slashed across Fang Yuan's leg!
Fang Yuan felt a burning pain in his thigh, and blood immediately seeped out.
That damned beast is incredibly strong, and its skin is as hard as old tree bark!
Damn beast!
If he hadn't been running away and hadn't had no time to find a weapon, he would have already gouged out Hakimi's eye with a single stab!
quack!
Fang Yuan didn't have much time to complain before the cat attacked again, its claws waving wildly! A vicious cat hunting its prey!
……
Just then.
squeak-
The door behind me was pushed open.
"Little frog?"
Nan Nan rubbed her sleepy eyes and came out carrying a small lantern.
She looked down and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no! Little Frog, you're hurt! You're bleeding so much!"
She quickly squatted down, feeling a pang of heartache as she tried to cradle Fang Yuan in her arms.
?
Where is the cat that hunts prey?!
Fang Yuan was stunned.
Didn't she see the tabby cat fighting with her?
Didn't the cat take the opportunity to attack?
He subconsciously turned his head to look at his side.
There... it was completely empty.
!! ?
Where's the cat?!
